JPL is building the first major coronagraph, an instrument that's going to block the light of stars so we can image planets around them. The other big thing JPL does in Earth Science is driving the future technology that helps us measure and understand where our home planet is headed. Neil DeGrasse Tyson: Laurie Leshin will take over as director of Jet Propulsion Labs six months from now on January 1, 2023. You're gonna find Laurie. It's really good with you.

Could there be life under the icy surface of Europa? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic Chuck Nice explore interplanetary missions, asteroid mining, and other exciting launches with the Director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Laurie Leshin.
